While I have made every effort to recommend only companies I like, I can not and will not be held liable for any problems you may have in dealing with these businesses and organizations. I encourage you to read all contracts thoroughly and seek legal counsel in all matters of your business.
Many companies can give the impression that they have exclusive arrangements with these and other distributors, but these opportunities exist for everyone in most cases anyway. While not quite being dishonest, it's rather misleading. In reality, you don't even need to go through a CD replication company to gain access to these distributors and promoters! Keep this in mind when searching for a music distribution partner.
